There is no burn ban in effect. It is legal to burn outdoors according to the by-law and the Ontario Fire Code. As always, be careful and take precautions to ensure both your safety and the safety of those around you when managing a fire.
Be advised that for open air fires, fires cannot be started more than 2 hours before sundown and must be extinguished within 2 hours after sunrise. This is Ontario Law during the burn season, which runs from April 1st to October 31st.
With all fires, please do not leave any fire unattended, ensure there are no combustible materials within 10 feet of the fire, and you must have a sufficient means to safely put the fire out.
When you plan to burn, you MUST contact the Township Office at 613 259-2398 ext. 242 or by e-mail
